Benromach Cask Strength – Batch #1
Benromach will soon bring back the Benromach Cask Strength that existed before the revival of the distillery. The first batch is distilled in 2008 and will be bottled at 57.9% ABV.
With pretty much the same age and strength as the Benromach 10 Years 100 Proof, the new one is effectively replacing the 100 Proof, as confirmed by Stuart Urquahart from G&M.
